This Little Light Of Mine

This Little Light Of Mine

"You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden."

~Jesus

 

Have you ever thought about how many times LIGHT has been used in history?  Before Paul Revere ever went to ride in Lexington, Massachusetts, he had to wait for a signal!  Just like before we make a life-changing decision, we must wait for God’s signal! There is an old song that goes:

This little light of mine,

I’m gonna let it shine

 Those are possibly the most powerful words that a Christian can use. Think about it! What are you pledging to God when you tell him you are his for a lifetime?  You are pledging to be an example of Christ, for other people to see! Do you remember the next part of the song?

Don’t let satan blow it out

I’m gonna let it shine!

That is next important thing! When you are an early Christian it is most important to keep a strong stance against the tricks that the devil has or is putting under your feet! He is always going to try to make you stray, but here is another song that shows how God is protecting you.

He has the whole, wide world in his hand

Nothing, nothing can pull you from the hand of God! The Bible says:” I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. "

John 10:28

No one, not even the devil can snatch you out of the Father’s hand! He loves you so much!

So here’s the punch line: For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

—John 3:16

So where are you going to go?

Here’s a poem if wrote

I wake up

Take out the dog

Go to work

Try not to yawn

Strange, I hear nothing

Then I hear it

Screeching, it was like it was in slow motion

Then pain

Then nothing

I hear doctors saying, “this isn’t going to work”

I be

I am simply being

I have no body

I hear nothing

See nothing

Say nothing

Then slowly, softly

I see a light

Not harsh but sweet

I don’t have legs

I think myself to the light

I see Him

Surrounded by light

And cherubim

I start to cry but no tears flow

He looks at me and says

“Good job my child, now let’s go home”

So if you were to die today

Do you know where you would go?

Heaven with golden streets?

Or hell down below?

Mercies are new everyday... no matter how disgusting things get

This morning i threw up... and what came to my mind as i watched my wonderful mother clean it and me up, is that God's mercies are new everyday.

Lamentations 3:23 says~

22Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed,

for his compassions never fail.

23They are new every morning;

great is your faithfulness.

This bucket reminds me of how God always takes the time to forgive us and help us clean up our mess, no matter what you've made of your life.  although just because you have surrenderred you life to God it doesnt mean that the hurt and bad memories will go away... here's a story i heard on forgiveness~

The Fence There was a little boy with a bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, to hammer a nail in the back fence. The first day the boy had driven 37 nails into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said, "You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger, they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry, the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one. Friends are a very rare jewel, indeed. They make you smile and encourage you to succeed. They lend an ear, they share a word of praise, and they always want to open their hearts to us.
